Page 9 — FEATURES Spelman Spotlight the BIG payback: Morris Brown Beats Morehouse By Lisha Brown Feature Editor The Morehouse Tigers and Morris Brown Wolverines came onto the field in full force on October 11th with the same idea in mind; win the game. But this was no ordinary collegiate football game. In stead, it was one of greater rivalry games which takes place annually between the two teams. Unfortunately, this battle was a gruesome defeat for the Tigers, losing 21-0. Last year Tiger fans left the game with scratchy throats and Wolverine fans were dazed by the victorious Morehouse team who had won the game after approximately forty to forty-five con secutive defeats. But on that beautiful sunny day a cloud hung over the Tigers darkening their chances for another vic tory. During the first ten minutes of the game, Morris Brown scored with a ten yard touchdown pass. The conversion point made the score 7-0. Morehouse Tigers were plaqued with fumbles, in complete passes, two sacks and tur novers. It seemed as though nothing would go right for the Tigers. At the end of the first quarter, the Tigers made an attempt to score, but the pass over the center was incomplete leaving them scoreless. While the overall game did look dismal for the Tigers, there were some key plays which did show Morehouse’s abilities. During the first quarter, Morris Brown went to kick the ball away, but Morehouse deflected the kick and recovered the ball on the ten yard line. With only 434 left in the first half num ber 27 for the Tigers intercepted a pass to prevent a large gain for the Wolverines. At half time, the score remained 7-0, Morris Brown. But after the half time show, Wolverine number seven returned the kick off for another touchdown. The Tigers seemed to burst with some new found interest after completing a fifteen yard pass for the first down. Pass in terference was called on Morris Brown placing Morehouse in an excellent scoring position on the eleven yard line. But again the Tiger quarterback was sacked by Wolverine Vernon Comer (number 87). Morehouse attempted a field goal, but it was deflected and recovered by Morris Brown on the 26 yard line. With only seconds left in the game the Wolverines made their last touchdown finalizing the score 21-0. As the crowds filed out, Morris Brown cheered at regaining the victory and Morehouse left with hopes of reversing the story again next year. As commented one Morehouse man, “Everybody knows Morehouse is about academics anyway. Football isn’t anything but another kind of entertainment for us ... but wait until next year! The agony of defeat. RECORD REVIEW: "Irons in the Fire" Is Hot By Dianne Digi Givens Teena Marie’s latest album, “Irons in the Fire,” is a hot one. The entire album was written and produced by Teena, which is a new experience for her. The album contains seven songs, all of which have a special spicy air about them that captures the listener from the time the needle hits the record There are three slow songs; “Young Love,” “Irons in the Fire,” which is the title track, and “Tune in Tomorrow,” which is a sequel to “Have My Cake...” from her first album. The fast songs include “I Need Your Lovin’,” which has exceptionally good harmony and unique horn arrangements. Also on the first side of the album is “Fir st Class Love,” a song with heavy bass and a definite upbeat. The funk song of the album is “Chains,” in which the un mistakable talents of percussionist Paulinho DaCaosta accent the song with extra spice. The fourth dance song is “You Make Love Like Springtime,” which has a jazzy, cha-cha type rythm to it. Her instrumentalists include Allen McGrier on bass, Gergory Hargrove, Wali Ali and David Taylor on electric guitar, Michael Boddicker on synthe sizer, Paulinho DaCosta on percussion Dianne Givens and congas, and OZONE, who comprise the horn section. The album as a whole rate about 9 on a scale of 1-10. Teena’s real talents as a songstress, a lyricist and a biography about her latest album she says, Tm like my music... varied always moving in all directions. The best thing I can do is like the song says, and keep my Irons in the Fire.” I’m sure as long as she does that, her songs will be burning up the charts. By Vivian Fannings Notes From Cindy’s Diary Our eyes are sensitive to over half a million dif ferences in stimuli. Dear Diary, Tomorrow night I will attend my first coronation. It’s at this program the queens are formally introduced to the student body, (it’s like the crowning of Miss Henry County and court back home). My big sister said everybody that’s anybody, and even the nobody’s attend this function. I asked my big siter what should I ex pect from the coronation program. She could hardly put into words the excite ment of coronation. She said all the queens dress up in frills and glitter out fits, and they each get to walk out on stage and twist a little. While they are dancing around on stage the guys are going wild, barking, screaming whistling, yoining and just going out of their minds with pride for their queens. Needless to say after talking with my big sister I want to be Ms. Maroon and White my senior year. I asked my big sister what would I have to do if I want ed to become Miss Maroon and White in 1984. The first thing I would have to do would be to bum my Levi’s. From now on I would have to dress up everyday especially the days I had classes at Morehouse. She instructed me to always smile and speak to the More house men (even the ones I don’t like). The most important thing she said I would have to do would be to take at least five classes a semister at More house, that way by my senior year every body would know me. My big sister was certain if I followed he plan I would surely be Miss Soph- more next year, Miss Ape Phi Ape or Miss Dog Psi Phi my Junior year, and Miss Maroon and White my senior year. 1 don’t know if my big sister’s plan will work, but Ill say one thing in it’s behalf. Anybody who would go through all those steps deserves to be a queen. Until tomorrow diary good night. Cindy Lou
